Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're tipping a game with little to choose between the sides here and, as such, we predict under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or fewer will be scored in total as Stoke and QPR go head-to-head. Good performances all round will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have reason to trust both sides to deliver precisely that. The stats and the odds below suggest it's a sound bet too.
